    I doubt Harden will be all that effective, but we’ll see

    he couldn’t even get inside the 3 point line today, and he played 46 minutes…he’ll only get 1 day of rest

    If the past few games really is Harris' playoff ceiling then they really should think of moving him. He makes McLemore and House look like Klay Thompson.

    I honestly believe this is a worse defeat than the smashing the Bucks got in game 2. They were up comfortably against an injured Harden and a Harris that shot like ****.

    There is no chance Harden misses that amount of wide open 3pt shot in game 6. Some of those were unlucky, but you could tell his hamstring affected some of those. A healthy Harden hits those. Harden's playmaking was still on point, but you could tell he wasn't being aggressive going to the paint due to his hamstring. I can't see Harris missing like that for 4 games in a row.

    Even though he was playing on one leg James Harden is still a thread that has to be accounted for. Kevin Durant took this game to another level. Fun game to watch

    Harden was rusty on the offensive end, did some good things late defensively...........................they won, that is all they need to do

    I didn't rag on Tucker much until this past season, but you always took up for him. I just remember you always carrying Tucker's torch like @vlaurelio does for Harden. And I guess to some extent I do for Chris Paul. We all got our guys I guess.

    I like all 3 of those guys but Tucker's box scores never cease to amuse me. It's like the dude doesn't practice offense.

    2x FMVP after he joined a 73-9 team that beat him after he was up 3-1

    Warriors won a title, then won 73 games and made it to game 7 of the finals, then KD decided to join them

    meanwhile the Nets have never won a thing

    stop it

    No. It is rare for a star to play the entire game. No matter how much KD wants to, I don't see how he can another game in row without JH. Plus if you lose Game 6, then maybe he has to do 3 games in 6 days. That is how you get injured.

    If JH is good to at least do this for Game 6, he needs to be out there to end this series there, and try to jump on them early.

    There was a clown that made an appearance in this thread to call Harden a quitter. That was just today.

    lol wrong about everything.

    Agree with you about the way Harden left. It was unprofessional and immature. But I thought the decision and choice to move on was a good/smart one.

    KD was a free agent. He can go to any team he wants. I personally wanted him to go to WAS but he chose GSW. He wanted to play with Curry and their style of play. The warriors lost the title the year before. He thought he would help them win it. I might not be a fan of it, but its far from something that needs forgiveness or apologies.

    I mean he didn't need to be. They could have put lopez on him and played him tight Harden wasn't going to get by his length. Then you you don't have the Lopez mismatches on the PnR. OR just go small like they eventually did.
